Description

The elegant Great Egret is a dazzling sight in many a North American wetland. Slightly smaller and more svelte than a Great Blue Heron, these are still large birds with impressive wingspans. All feathers on Great Egrets are white. Their bills are yellowish-orange, and feet and legs are black. They hunt in classic heron fashion, standing immobile or wading through wetlands to capture fish, frogs, and other small aquatic animals with a deadly jab of their bill. The Great Egret is the symbol of the National Audubon Society, one of the oldest environmental organizations in North America. Audubon was founded to protect birds from being killed for their feathers. Taken in Gloucester, Massachusetts
